[R] Sweave recode(car) and Lyx, compiling but not executing on Mac

[Graham Smith]

Just to follow this up. Changing the document encoding in Lyx from the
default (whatever that was) to utf8 (with some help from Jay)  allowed
some sample"recode"  code  to run (it wouldn't run initially), but my
original code still won't run.

Strangely looking at the Latex code window in Lyx shows some strange
syntax highlighting in my code

cabbages$Year<-recode(cabbages$Year,"'X2001'...

The code is higlighted between the $ signs  and I wonder if this
suggests there are still some sort of encoding problem.
